Hi,
I am running Spike Pure Ics v4.0.
I have a problem, it automatically switches between network 2G/3G.
I want to turn off 3g for always as it just consumes too much battery and i have network connectivity issues also sometime signals just become 0.
I can't find option for the same in Mobile Networks.
Tried searching threads but dint find anything...
Is thr any way by which i can disable/enable 3g.
Dial *#*#info#*#* go to phone info and you'll find what you need.
I have exactly the same problem. I tried the *#*#info#*#* thing and even though it lets me choose the radio mode, it does not change it. It always goes back to auto, even though I chose "GSM only". Does anyone have it working? I tried it with Spike Pure ICS 4.2 and 6.1.

upgrade dude to 7.0 or above
that option is present
or use *#2263#
be sure to use stock dialer
Thanks for the tip. However, I am unable to use Spike Pure ICS v7 and above. 6.1 is the newest one that works for me. When I try v7 and up, I get a kernel panic after installing it. I don't know whether I have a weird specimen of SGS2 or what...
I also tried the number *#2263# but that gives me only a selection of bands. I am not sure which bands are not used for HSDPA. I guess 800 and 1800, am I right?

Hi Guys.
So I was finally able to get a cooked ROM on my Fuze using an older XP machine that I had. But now, after trying both ROMeOS and DCS, I'm not getting any 3G signal. What i do get at times is the hsdpa signal, but i don't actually receive it; none of the data services are working (internet, weather, youtube, etc.). Could someone please tell me how to get 3G on my Fuze?
EDIT: It seems like I am getting the HSDPA signal at times but its very tempermental
anyone have a solution?

In start>settings>phone>band do you have the auto in both drop menus on??
also try start>settings>connections>advanced network> in the HSDPA try to see which option is used. try to use 'enable HSDPA Only' or even disable it completely and see what happens.
had the same issue and this seemed to fix it.
Advanced Config Tool>menu>more settings>Comm manager - Add 3g to comms manager.
Open comms manager and switch 3g off > soft reset > switch 3g on > soft reset
Good luck
thanks ill try that out when i get a chance. what rom were you using?
EDIT: nvm saw it in your sig
did you run the network config wizard after flashing the rom?
it prompts (or detects) your country and operator and configures most things for you.
if it's not part of your cooked rom, look for it as a .cab
yea i ran the config but it still doesnt connect to 3g. I'm trying the suggested solution now
still not working....
I still cant run apps like cellular video and the youtube app. Youtube just wont load the vids, and CV gives me a message that says it's only supported to 3G phones. I really hope theres a solution to this since I really love ROMeOS but I want apps like youtube and CV
haha i give up. I officially ***king hate this. I feel like I spent 300 bucks on a phone that is perfectly engineered and has crap software on it. Im so agitated i can't even think straight. I'm really close to just getting rid of this phone and i dont even know.
Well... felt good to tell someone.
I am having the same problems. I am using an ATT Fuze and I flashed ROMeOS last night and now I cant to connect to the internet or use the youtube app via HSDPa/HSUPA, 3G, or Edge. I can use these applications if I turn on Wi Fi, but if I use cellular internet I get a big red sign that says "ERROR" and then followed by "the remote server refuses to perform the request. This address is not available". It also shows an H on the top bar if anyone was wondering. Any fix for this or just try a different ROM?
Update: I tried a new ROM and same thing. Does anyone have a solution? I am sure us two aren't the only ones with this problem!
I am getting pretty desperate, can anyone help?
same problem here, my area supports hsdpa but with a speedtest i have between 24 and 36kbit

go to start>settings>Connections>Advanced network>GPRS "make sure CHAP authenticaion is selected. that is what ATT network uses. then go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connections> select manage existing connections and then go to the proxy tab. make sure your remove both check marks and you should be good to go.
Wow, thank you HackMimic that worked! I tried everything I could think of and was about to go back to stock ROM just to use 3G, but now I can continue using flashed ROMS. To the original poster of this thread try the above and it should work as I had the exact same symptoms you described and now I am cruising along on HSDPA! Once again thanks HackMimic!
no problem. i had the same issue back in the day when the connection setup app first cam out i noticed that it always seem to set the GPRS Settings to PAP instead of CHAP which is needed for MMS and the net over here in america. also noticed issues with proxy selected. glad i could help.
Yea I tried HackMimic's fix but not directly from you . I was reading on how to configure skyfire and they said to do that, and what ended up happening is all of the sudden the youtube app worked and so did everything else. Regardless, thanks for the solution. I'm a little more amazed everyday by the wealth of knowledge on this forum
Hi guys,
Having some difficulties here.
Searched on the forum but didn't find a proper way to fix this.
I installed Villainrom 3.0 with the ninphetamine 2.0.5 on it. (already did it 3 times, with cache wipe and dalvik)
After that, my data connection doesn't work anymore.
I have the right APN settings, and tried other modems and kernels.
These are the ones that I tried:
Modems: XXKE7
XXKE4
KE7
KH3
KI2
KI3
Kernels: XWKE2 (was the standard root)
ninphetamine 2.1.3
2.0.5
I'm really stuck here
Please comment.
Thanks!

No, my girlfriend her phone/3g works fine, with the same telco
Do you get a data connection on the stock rom?
I would usually put this down to the provider.
Sometimes its because your efs folder got corrupt (no imei) or wrong radio/modem. but as you have tried so many im pretty sure its not that.

I did a backup to my stock rom, but kept my ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel.
The data con. works with the stock rom.
I'll try again tonight, maybe I should play with the APN settings a bit.
If this doesn't work, I'll just leave it with a stock rom
Maybe your phone/telco doesn't like this firmware version.
Try another custom rom with different firmware.

Write down all the apn settings and apply them to villain, I cant see why that wouldnt work.
Same problem here, IMEI ok. Also tried different modems.
Btw, 3G works, but not HSDPA. Sometimes H/H+ appers for a brief period of time and goes back to 3G. Same SIM on another phone gives me constant H/H+ icon.

Nobody facing similar issues?
UPDATE: OpenSignal says that the connection is HSDPA (sometimes UMTS), but the icon stays "3G".
I'm having the exact same issue. I got it back last week by repeatedly switching between Gsm only ans auto but that's not working this time. Talk mobile UK. I'm going to try Cyanogenmod. Shame as I really liked Villainrom.
Edit:
Re-entered the APN settings and it's all good now.

Well i've investigated this a little bit further, and found out this only happens when using a WCDMA 2100 network. I've tried another carrier (WCDMA 850) and it stays locked on HSUPA all the time. I i only knew why HSUPA works on my original carrier only while on a call...
Hey guys i got a problem.
After flashing my phone normally with Odin like usual all of a sudden data connection aint working anymore. I works fine with wifi, but not without.
It shows 3G/H signal in the status bar, and i see the upload arrow is blinking so it is sending data, but not receiving anything.
I tried googling it, tried flashing various different roms that worked before and original firmware, but nothing helps so far.
I checked the provider info in the phone, and its all correct.
Kinda lost here, hope someone has an idea how to fix it
thx in advance
nobody? i tried everything so far and dont even know why its not working anymore
It's going to be difficult to get much help here because I don.t think most developers have had time yet to get into the innards of the A501. Have you tried flashing back to the original stock ROM? You did back it up before you flashed it with a custom one right?
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
No nandroid backup, only titanium backup since i never had problems before.
I tried flashing all kind of original firmware now, KH1-3, even older ones, the latest. tried all custom roms that worked fine before.
Tried different sim cards, readded the APN settings etc.
Found out now that 2G is working, but as soon as i switch to 3G etc it shows the signal for that, i see upload but no download, so it basicly stops working.

(Instead of quick reply, i hit thanks first!)
Dial *#301279#. If it doesn't work, dial *#*#301279#*#*
Select 2nd option (Change HSPA revision or whatever).
Then select 3rd option (Release 6).
Restart.
Also, check your APN settings.
Use an app called Tweakker which will configure your apn if u dont know exact settings.
thanks for the quick replies guys.
so i did play with the codes today already, the option you stated i tried but sadly it didnt change anything.
HOWEVER i did choose disable HDSPA completly now, so i am on 3G only and guess what, now it works!!
Speeds are not what they used to be at this location, but that might be due to my data limit so i have to check.
With other codes i found out that while being on H/H+ phone didnt download 1 byte, so i have to wonder why.
With 3G it is working now, but what could the cause be. Used to flash quite often and it always worked, so not sure if thats even related to my problem atm.
Any idea what might cause the H stuff not working at all? I read about the SII getting stuck on H+ etc. before, but all the tricks with rebooting or toggling flight mode etc. didnt work for me
so far, thanks a lot!
Try different modems. Depending on ur location and service provider, atleast one should work right. I'm using KI3 modem without problems.

modem depending on location and provider?
i tried several modems from the original firmware thread under development. they all used to work fine before, now they dont. KI3, KI8, KH3 etc. all nothing :/
Hmm strange. May be you should delete all apns, and configure a new one for your provider.
Also give KG5 and KG2 a try.
i am having a SGS2 with KI3 and sensation rom 1.7 with kernel siyah 2.0. after doing this i am also facing a problem with my data connection. it works but its on / off.
can you suggest come remedies like now please .............
Hello,
I was wondering if there was a How-To thread on doing this? Or could someone help me do this? I couldn't find any from my search's.
Current ROM: δ-HyperDroid-Androidmeda-v3.0 (with petsaj's surgeon)
This feature is already there in the Hyperdroid + petsaj surgeon combo I use. The reason I ask on a how-to for this is because, for some reason, custom ROM's that have this particular feature are the only one's I can use to get 3g data connectivity. Otherwise, I always get this irritating "Refreshing SIM data" pop up, which eats up battery, and heats up the back of the phone.
I'm still not a 100% on whether this would be the actual reason, or whether its a an issue with my carrier, but i want to give it a try so i can know for certain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Arjun.
Im on Revolution ROM, and it has this feature. Try it c:

Thanks. But I'd like to find out how to do it myself; to test and see if this is whats causing issues with 3g data connectivity for me. I think even Simple & Clean v2.x has this, and so do a few others.
But I don't think MIUI ROM's have this (not sure about this again - from the MIUI's I've tried, doesn't seem like they do).
My main concern has to do with 3g.
Thanks again.
Sorry to bump this. I didn't want to create another thread with the same question.
Hopefully someone from Hyperdroid would see this.
It's as simple as changing some png's... Download my surgeon, navigate to /vrtheme/SystemUI.apk and see which ones are blue and which ones are grey.
Thanks petsasj.
Will try it once I'm back from work.

Ok. I was just having a look at the pngs in the Androidmeda 5.2.xx and the pngs in /vrtheme/SystemUI.apk (of your surgeon). Only difference I see is the colours are green in the base while they blue in the surgeon.
I dont think this could be the coz of my 3g issues.
Petsasj: any idea why I am able to use 3g only after flashing your surgeon? Like i said before, if i flash the base ROM (or any ROM for that matter), either of two things will happen:
1. In GSM/WCDMA mode, it'll search for my 3G network -> the 3G icon shows up, and instantly disappears. I am still connected to my 3G network, but there is no data connection. On checking the "Status" in Settings it shows up as Mobile Network->Connecting.
2. In GSM/WCDMA mode, it'll search and connect to my 3G network -> there wont be a 3G data connection. "Status" in Settings says Disconnected.
For both the above instances, this "Refreshing SIM data" pop-up keeps on coming. The phone heats up at the back - battery goes down the drain! Very annoying. 2g works though (with data connectivity).
But if I flash your surgeon (and only your surgeon btw, the other surgeons dont help me with this issue ), everything works! 3G, 2G, switching between the two... !
Would u have any idea as to whats causing this??

I just switched from a rooted One XL that was running Scott's CleanRom 4.5DE to a new One X+ that I've unlocked and rooted.
One of the features I miss the most is the ability to force the phone into 3G for most of my use with the ability to turn on 4G when I am watching video or something that requires more data.
Is there an app that works well at switching back and forth easily? I did a search in the play store and there are a couple in there but they seemed to be geared for phones that are CDMA/LTE rather than H+/LTE.
Thanks!!!

I'm using Widgetsoid...add a widget to the screen and choose the "4G" plugin. That will bring you to the radio menu where you can select GSM/WCDMA only instead of GSM/WCDMA/LTE.
I use Phone Info by [email protected]
but the setting has to be changed every time you reboot

You may need to toggle the radio off/on after you change between 3G/4G to force it after you make a change.

^ Are you rooted/unlocked bootloader?
You just have to make a apn for 4g network then you just go into apn and select the 4g apn or the lte apn
As far as 3g I donno I can just change mine from lte o hspa hspda or lte but I'm sure there's a 3 g only apn I just don't know it

Seems no matter which I pick it just resets to the standard option.
If I turn the radio off first I can set whatever I want, but, upon turning back one I still get 'LTE' even if it isn't the selected network type.
EDIT: I see I have the same problem as 'moregadget' in that no matter what I do it just seems to go back to its default settings. It must be some BS AT&T did to prevent us from opting out of the battery sucking LTE connection.
I am on an unlocked bootloader & rooted on the Elegancia 3.1.0 AT&T rom.

I went back to my original One X for a couple weeks and put the X+ away. I'll come back to it but right now its not fully functional for me.

So I was loading the Team Venom ViperXL+ 1.2.0 ROM yesterday and had a moment where I felt like an idiot. As I was selecting the items on the ROM that I wanted to load I ran across the area where I select what 3G/4G icons I want and I suddenly realized something I haven't seen on the One X+ forum but was prevalent on the original One X.
When you have the AT&T 4G icons in use you can't manually select the network however when you load a ROM that allows you to use the typical H+/3G icons that I believe are on the international version you can.
